I am in love with the many uses of Pinterest. Recipes – yep. Organization – yep. The latest fad in Coconut oil uses – yep. Wedding related beauty – oh yep.
My sample pic below is from one of my favorite Pinners – Such Pretty Things – all that makes me smile!

Writing that 2012 was challenging would be a complete understatement. However, along with those challenges came an abundance of blessings! I feel so lucky to be doing what I love, along with the best of the best clients, vendors and our team. It sounds like every Wedding Planner says this but I truly feel my couples are the BEST!!! Not only working with these brides and grooms, but forming friendships that will endure.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us Plan, Design and Coordinate events with a fierce passion just like ours. Here’s to a beautiful, blessed and happy new year.
Some 2012 highlights:
* Added Lana to our team to help with design elements and brother – she is good!
* Came back to my office space with some of the best women in the industry
* Honored to have been added to a few more venue preferred vendor lists – yay!
* Didn’t get a non-profit event that I spend the MOST hours prepping for, however, the experience gained was so beneficial that I felt as if I did get the work
* Proudly took my baby girl to first grade (I still cannot believe it). And took my baby boy to his last year of preschool before Kinder.
* Battled a scary and awful life situation for almost an entire year – thank you God for getting us all through it – and making me stronger at the end
* Worked at some of our favorite and new-to-us venues such as: Marriott Newport Beach, Peninsula Beverly Hills, Trump National Golf Club, Bella Collina
* Seriously, I have been so lucky and every day of the year had its own shareable moment. Too bad I can’t list them all.
Happy New Year everyone! We would love to help plan your wedding day so please e-mail or call us to get started!

A stunning couple, gorgeous day to get married and the most charming, rustic venue. All part of the beautiful wedding day of Katie & Sam on October 23, 2010.
Katie loved the feel of the Red Horse Barn and opted for a hand-made, comfy, and crafty design for the reception. Found provided awesome vintage furniture pieces around the dance floor, the dessert & gift tables, and made SUCH a difference in the space. Floral pieces were mason jars collected by the bride, and her family and filled with wildflowers and tied with colored ribbon.
For dinner, guests were first treated to hot, fresh-made quesadillas and cocktails, then Taco Man served up the most delicious tacos along with yummy sides.
Dessert was fabulous – homemade cookies by Katie’s mom, and donuts served with cold milk. The guests were truly enjoying this end of the night treat.
So great working with Hoffmann Photographer. Thank you for the incredible images!

Bartender: Sunseri’s
Caterer: Taco Man
DJ:Fly By Night

Another successful and gorgeous event hosted by the Association of Bridal Consultants, Orange County.
